According to his Abbotsford West MLA, Mike de Jong, “Jack, in addition to being a remarkable trial lawyer and skilled jurist, was noted for his zest, love of life, his sense of humour – frequently revealed in the strange circumstances that often characterize very serious trials and criminal trials.”

“The only thing that Jack will be noted more for than his skill in a courtroom is his philanthropy in the community. He was generous in the extreme, and no cause was too small to attract his attention and support.”

Dr. Harris received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of the Fraser Valley in 2008.
